I wouldn't put too much thought into that if I were you.Compete w/ yourself, try to best your previous best (if still youngish). That's why training is great, individual, personal, desolate. Even in a crowded gym, im isolated.
rows for the hoes as they say in the gyms I have done maybe 140lbs once in my life??
Bodybuilding is filled with insecure little boys trying to prove they are men. You can't compare weight used because the overwhelming majority of guys do an exercise in the easiest way possible so they can use heavy weights. I watch guys do dumbbell rows and they don't go all the way up or down. They bastardize the movement so they can use a big weight. Leg press: Watch how guys barely bend their legs. Most are doing the equivalence of a quarter squat. On rare occasions I see guys doing the equivalence of a half squat with their knee bend. A full leg press knee bend is as rare as a full Olympic squat. Dumbbell presses either pec or delt: Here half reps rule. Most of these guys using 80lbs for half reps in the standing shoulder press wouldn't be able to use 55lbs if they went all the way down for their 10 rep sets. It's physics 101. More work is being done if a weight is moved a greater distance. Don't get me going on guys that do shoulder presses seated and let their ass slide out so it's really a incline pec press. Deadlift: Guys that deadlift a raised barbell in a power cage lift more than they could lift off the floor do to the shorter range of motion. I really could go on, reference cadence and range of motion. When it doubt do an exercise in the hardest fashion instead of the easiest way. If you really want to compare strength, speed and power see could do the heaviest power clean and jerk. No way to cheat your way ahead of another guy. 300lbs is more than a 290lbs. While in many circumstances a 85lbs lat dumbbell row is greater than a 100lbs one that was done with every gimmick to cheat the exercise.
Getbiggers do one arm rows with a barbell.
